Good evening,

During the course of the past year, Fox Sports, in association with McDonalds launched "The Next Great Sportswriter (NGS) Competition."

However, after two NGS, this contest seems to be less a search for a great sportswriter, and more a ploy to generate ratings and hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more.

The Fox Sports website has succeeded in duping thousands of people to sign up and consisently blog on the website in hopes of becoming one of the top 16 contestants.

However NGS leadership, without explanation, has chosen very questionable contestants to be finalists. For example, one contestant wrote three blogs over the course of a few months that were not considered by the masses to be of high quality. Two more were selected but were replaced because of the fact they were not old enough to compete. Another contestant was found guilty of plagiarism. The examples go on and on.

The point being is that, while Fox sports leadership argues we should be grateful for them providing us a place to showcase our writing and entertainment skills, the fact remains that the organization has not taken the necessary steps to assure fairness, nor has it taken the fact that many bloggers take their writings very seriously and spend countless time researching facts to assure accuracy, nor does its highest leadership respond to questions asked by contestants. As of today, they rely on the NGS I winner to answer bloggers' questions.


The bottom line is that without calling McDonalds and ordering a large NGS contest with moldy cheese, Fox does not generate as much blog attendance, nor does it generate enough ratings to keep up with espn.com and cnnsi.com.

But in generating great ratings, Fox sports has utterly disregarded ethics as well as the feelings of others.

With this said, I ask you to sign this petition to support the bloggers whom have already clamored on the website for fairness but to no avail.

Thank you.
